What changed.

Five tools beyond the page, all free, all the same parsers.

• Batch: drop a folder or many files, get one zip in the same shape, in the browser.
• Policy: the kinds a team keeps, carried in the page's address as a link and stored nowhere; the home page honours it too.
• Command line: one dependency-free file for Node 20 or newer, with the same switches.
• API: two routes to host yourself, on a Cloudflare Worker or a Node process, with a bearer token.
• Extension: cleans a file the moment it is chosen in any site's picker; loaded unpacked, not yet in a store.
• The parsers' XML reader is now our own, so the same code runs in the browser, in Node and in a Worker. The published source gains xml.ts and zip.ts.
• The site: a blog with five posts and a feed, installable as an app that works offline, per-page structured data.

Launch. Reads and removes metadata from JPEG, PNG, Word, Excel and PowerPoint (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) and PDF, entirely in the browser.

• JPEG: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, Photoshop resources and comments removed; the ICC profile kept; orientation preserved.
• PNG: text chunks, eXIf and tIME removed; the colour profile kept.
• Office: core, app and custom properties emptied, thumbnail dropped, zip timestamps reset; comment and tracked-change authors shown and kept.
• PDF: Info dictionary and uncompressed XMP blanked in place; compressed XMP and object streams shown and kept, with a note.
• The site: fourteen pages, no account, no cookies, no analytics, a privacy policy and terms.
